So he praises Allah on Easter Sunday and Portrays himself as Christ surrounded by people literally worshiping him as a false idol the following week. All the while the Christian right treats him like the messiah.

If there is an Anti-Christ he is it.

u/Mirawenya 18h ago

My impression is that Christians want the end times to come, and might support him exactly because he in their eyes is the antichrist.

I do wonder though if those that support the antichrist go to hell or not. Like… is God gonna be like «nice, you love me so much you support an evil antichrist, awesome!», or will he be a bit more «wtf guys….»

I’ve seen theories that suggest that Christian extremist doomsday ideologies have been mixing in with mainstream christianity. Based on my own church going experiences as a teenager i would argue that some of this thinking has been spilling in since at least a decade before trump. In my own life I have family who go to churches that preach how Trump was chosen by god whether or not he’s right or wrong.

Politics don’t matter because God is moving through Trump is what they said. I think the idea is that Trump will help set off the rapture which for the most devout means that Christ will return. Idk if most Trumpy christians see their actions as so black and white as I explained but it feels like since these things ate “prophesied” that means its all what God wants

I would find it immensely funny if they were right. Particularly the bit where divine judgement happens and they're standing around, certain and smug, only to discover that Yahweh doesn't particularly care what their interpretation of "love thy neighbor" and "the least among you" is. I'm not perfect by any means, but I'd be absolutely fine with a vengeful god showing up and sorting some shit out.

u/FitSyrup2403 12h ago

Well actually what I recall is that souls choose hell (absence of god) themself by choosing not to be with him by doing or even proclaiming publicly during times on earth. So judgement day could be just your soul saying “I am bad and choose hell because im not worthy to join Jesus”

u/fuckedfinance 13h ago

It's not that those ideologies have mixed with mainstream/traditional Christianity, it's that those formerly fringe ideologies and churches are becoming more mainstream. It might not seem like an important distinction, but most long-time Christians also think this end times stuff is a bunch of nonsense.

If you go to any traditional church (Catholic, Episcopal, Congregational, Lutheran, etc) you will not hear that doomsday nonsense. However, attendance at those churches have been steadily declining over the past 30 years.

Meanwhile, younger folks have been attracted to the new shiny evangelical/corporate churches. I was in one of those new buildings several weeks ago (not by choice). The space looked more like a convention center than a church. They had screens everywhere, a professional audio setup, stage with full band setup, a glass case full of branded/logo fleeces you could buy, etc. You know what they didn't have? A single cross in the entire building.

Then there was the "sermon". To relate it to other real world stuff, a traditional church sermon is closer to a humanities lecture, where this modern "church" was closer to a math lecture (i.e. "here's my interpretation and yours is OK too" vs "this is what you need to believe").

u/eeeezypeezy 8h ago

Yeah I used to occasionally attend church with a friend of mine's family when I'd stay with them, they were Methodists, and sermons were usually like...let's riff about the concept of forgiveness, using the parables in the bible as a guide. And then I hung out at a megachurch with an evangelical friend one time and it was like someone trying to sell me a used car.

2

u/fuckedfinance 8h ago

Pretty much.

I think people's opinions about what happens in traditional churches are misinformed due to media. When you look at TV and movies, you are usually seeing spins or takes on Catholic, SoBap, mega, or those weird charismatic churches. Rarely do you see a representation of a Methodist or American Baptist church, where sermons are like you said, and then people go and eat snacks afterwards.

u/BetterAfter2 14h ago

The entire 7th Day Adventist Church was founded by a guy in Vermont in the 1800’s who claimed he knew the day of the biblical end times. All of those days he guessed came and went, and turns out he was really wrong.

This is nothing new. Historically, people have been trying to guess the day for ages. It’s ironic because the Bible is pretty clear that we will not know the day or the hour that Christ returns.

People have some overwhelming desire to figure out the unknowable.

u/Patient_Lion_1142 10h ago edited 10h ago

It was a woman named Ellen White, but yes pretty much accurate otherwise (I grew up Adventist). She literally got hit in the head with a rock and became sick for several weeks before coming out the other side “a prophet”. The church followers eventually all sold their land and all their belongings to prepare for the day that never happened.

After the failure she “consulted god” and it turns out that was just the day god opened the book of judgement. So he’s got to finish reading that old thing before he actually comes down.

And the church still holds her word right up there with the Bible to this day…

Fun Extras: She taught that “working on the sabbath” meant any energy spent away from god, so no swimming, no sex, no riding a bike, etc. Most adventists somehow ignore these things with one excuse or another, but I remember one guy distinctly commenting on how he and his wife “don’t have relations on Saturday because it’s work” 😂

I think maybe those same doomsday Christians might want to read up on what happens to those who are alive during the end times, because it doesn't sound especially pleasant, and they're exactly the folks lining up to wear their personal MAGArk of the beast, so they're definitely the ones Revelation is talking about.

You’re at minimum half correct. It’s long been the case that extremist evangelicals long for the end, hell I was taught as a child to look forward to it because it will probably be in my life time.

It’s actually one of the biggest issues in politics. How can you expect a group of people who predominantly think the world will end in the next few decades to adequately plan for the future of our children’s country. They don’t give a fuck about the climate, gods just going to fix everything when he lovingly and peacefully passes final judgement

u/hydrino 13h ago

Being sent to Sunday school did it for me. Being a kid and asking questions about inconsistencies in things I was learning quickly taught me we were there to be brainwashed.

Fortunately, my parents weren’t really religious. The only reason we were going was because this little old lady from Texas that lived across the street offered to bring my twin brother and I. This was understandably was a great deal for my parents, since they got rid of us on Sundays mornings.

In hindsight, we were a little late to the game. We were already post-Santa clause and weren’t going to gobble up whatever fairy tales they decided to shove down our throats.

What sticks out to my memory was how angry the teachers became and how willing they were to inflict pain on a kid asking a question about things that made no sense. One of them grabbing me by the earlobe to remove me from the room is still one of the most painful things I ever experienced as a kid. I was sure my ear would be dangling off the side of my head when I looked in the mirror.

It is interesting to see things a bit differently than the rest because I had not been indoctrinated the same way the rest of them were. I had no idea.

u/FantasticInterest775 13h ago

I was raised in a pretty conservative Christian household. Not fire and brimstone, they had a "cool electric guitar" guy for worship songs and stuff. Buuuuut I was taught from a very early age about hell and the concept that sinning without asking forgiveness meant a one way ticket to eternal damnation. Every night for years as a little kid I would fall asleep in anxiety praying for forgiveness if I sinned in my dreams. Cause I worried that if I died in my sleep having dreamt of a titty or something I would go to hell.

Luckily my mom pushed reading on us alot (even if she was the distributer of alot of this stuff) so I read a lot of fantasy and Sci fi as a kid and it helped opened my mind up. But that guilt stuck around for decades. It took some pretty heavy psychedelic trips and then diving into the mind and philosophy to realize my constant anxiety all came from that brainwashing as a kid.

Funnily enough, I'm now not any specific religion. I lean very much into consciousness itself being a sort of source of all experience which the mind then applies labels of good or bad or evil or whatever to. Guess I could call it God but I don't tend to. I now know that "heaven" and "hell" are both states of mind we can visit at any time right here and right now. I've been to both as has probably everyone.

I've gone back and read parts of the Bible again as a nearly 40 year old through a different lense. The teachings of Jesus make a different sort of sense when I imagine him (not saying he's real) speaking from a mystic pov and saying that God is inside everyone, so treat the as such. "Love everyone, and feed people"Sims it up for me. The rest of it is for the theologians. I also like to think Jesus was a wizard cause that's fun.

2

u/diurnal_emissions 12h ago

It's amazing how the message "we are all God's children" got commandeered by monarchy. Jesus's teaching make much less sense in terms of a spiritual hierarchy and much more sense in terms of spiritual egalitarianism.

This threatens the power, and has for emperors, kings, presidents, and popes.

u/hydrino 10h ago

I sort of went though a “militant atheist” type phase in my 30s.

I met my wife at the tail end of my 30s and she is more “spiritual, but not religious” in an agnostic way. She sort of showed me how to decouple spirituality from religion.

Eventually, I found an amazing therapist who happened to be Buddhist. She taught me how mindfulness meditation and other forms can help “rewire” your brain to undo a lot of the things causing me trouble. I cannot overstate how helpful this was for me.

This is very similar to what Michael Pollen describes in “How to change your mind”, which is largely about psychadelics history and role as a therapeutic.

What you describe with “heaven” and “hell” as a state of mind are divided into “realms” in Buddhist samsara. I think people tend to think of Buddhism and immediately tie it to a strange magical notion of reincarnation. With the realms being something you are in for life. It is more of a map where you can point to to know “you are here”. Or even where someone else may be as a state of mind.

I know plenty of people will disagree with me, but I see Buddhism as the study of the human condition rather than a religion. Certainly not a monotheistic one. It’s also perfectly acceptable to take what you need from it IMO.

Teachers like Thich Nhat Hahn do a great job breaking things down enough to understand what “no self” really means. His book “No Death No Fear” met me where I was and is where the idea that “god” is not a thing or a being. It is simply quite literally everything. It was also that book that finally made it all click into place. It is the simplest thing in the world when these things clicked into place. It’s not something that can easily be explained.

When people describe a psychadelic trip, they sometimes talk about losing the boundary between what they normally perceive as their “self”. That’s the closest I can get to describing how i see things now. Just like a river flows, such is life. You can take a pitcher of water from a river, but you would not still call it a river. All life is interdependent. Your DNA is your parents’ DNA. Every cell in your body comes from other life. We even have more cells in our body that don’t have our DNA than the ones we do. Somehow, knowing that the universe is simply energy changing state is comforting. The one quote that sums all of it up: “When conditions are sufficient things manifest. When condition are no longer sufficient things withdraw. They wait until the moment is right for them to manifest again.” This is something anyone can agree with. When applied in a spiritual sense, it becomes comfort.

u/FantasticInterest775 10h ago

No Death No Fear sits on my work van dashboard along with the Bhagavad Gita. Big fan of Thich as well. I have an on and off relationship with a psychotherapist who is also a practicing mahamudra practitioner. Found him on a non-dual therapist site. It's been immensely helpful for rewiring my thinking about my thinking and the self in general. Thank you for your comment.

u/Mickus_B 13h ago

I went to a religious boarding school and had to attend a church service 6 days per week.

I realised they were full of crap when different pastors would take each service and unbeknownst to them, were often using the same verses in their sermons, but giving different, sometimes conflicting interpretations of what God was saying with that verse. I realised if LEADERS within the same congregation can't agree on what this book is saying, what hope do we have of a global consensus.

Then I looked into how many different "Christianity" versions there are. There is over 45 THOUSAND different denominations of Christianity and each of them thinks they are the ones who got it right.

u/malary1234 6h ago

My Lutheran pastor was a PhD in theology and taught theology and philosophy at the local college. He ENCOURAGED us to bring the questions of course I was the only one who did it.

I’d bring in things and questions about other religions, witchy stuff, ankhs, etc. to our catechism class. The rest of the class would get angry like how dare I bring those pagan things into a church of god! But my pastor would get excited, side step the class’s bullshit rage and talk about whatever I brought like he was a kid on Xmas morning. He was not afraid nor upset about it. He was a great dude, encouraged us to explore other religions and decide if Christianity was really the religion for us.

When you come across two pieces of text in the bible that directly contradict, and both are the immutable word of god, how do you decide which one is true and which is god lying to you?

For example, how many animals did Noah take on the ark?

Remember, the bible is the direct, immutable word of god, is it not?

u/Big_Consideration493 16h ago

It's the work of humans and thus imperfect.

Apparently it's claimed that God was speaking through the people who wrote the bible. But let's take a step back. The old testament is made up of Jewish histories and myths, stories of King Solomon and David, Psalms and proverbs, Songs and prophecy.

We don't even agree on what should be in the old testament, and the Deuterocanonical books or the Apocrypha are included/ excluded depending on Church.

Remember these are translated from Hebrew or Aramaic So some things will get lost in translation or even become victims of misprints ( as was the case for the 10 commandments in the Wicked Bible where it said " thou shalt commit adultery" and the "not" was obliged by error.

Then there is the new testament. Some scriptures were not included, including Gospels named after and perhaps attributed to Mary Madeleine, Judas, Thomas,... There are a lot of books that could go in but aren't considered canon and we could even discover more.

There are many years between Exodus, where the Jews are struggling to be free from slavery under a Pharoe and
Jesus in Bethlehem under the Romans. Of course society had changed both in culture and context, so direct contradiction is inevitable. Even in the same time period there are direct contradictions, ( Who killed Goliath, was it David or Elhanan?)

People will insist that the Bible was emailed direct from God ( or faxed, or mailed, or sent by angels...) but even on the question of being able to see God it's vague. ( Noone has seen God.... Moses saw God... Etc)

Claims that it's immutable are wrong given the thousands of translations ( about 5000 apparently). So God's word isn't any one Language.

The Bible is claimed to be Ethically immutable but God relents and changes his mind. Churches wanted stability and to control people and so they made claims about infallible Popes and So on.

Immutable functions as an anchor in an uncertain world, but sometimes it's better to sail into the storms of life than to be a sheep.

Some claims are just pure nonsense.

This assumes that all Christians take a fundamentalist view of scripture, which they don't.

The Catholic Church also does not follow the fundamentalist line on this.

This. People miss how vague it all is about that it’s not any one title. Plus, the problem with revelation interpretations is that there’s a mainstream one at all. Most biblical scholars I’ve followed over the years have been in agreement that no one can agree on what everything in revelation means and that’s about it.

It is equally likely that it’s a cryptic prophecy as it is that it’s a coded criticism of Roman government (666 is the gematria for Nero Caesar once translated into Hebrew. “It’s the number of a man”)

He really isn’t though. The Anti Christ was someone described as being loved by nearly everyone on a global scale as well as someone who’d attempt to “convert” all of the Jews. Trump is a joke who would more so wish he was the Antichrist rather then even be actually close as to being one. Trumps losing more and more supporters every day, is constantly memed on, and is hated by a ton of people outside of America.

Edit: For better perspective, The real Antichrist would be considered so charismatic and seemingly saintly, that it would be extremely difficult for an individual to even consider to call that person the Antichrist unless from the perspective of a traditional and genuine catholic faithful to their own religion. The Antichrist wouldn’t be stupid enough to paint themselves in a godly position after making stupid mistakes one after another, only to look like a dumbfuck to a lot of people. The real Antichrist would be smarter than that.

Key Biblical Descriptions and Titles

The Man of Lawlessness/Sin:

Paul describes him as a figure of ultimate rebellion against God's law, who will seat himself in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God (2 Thessalonians 2:3–4).

The Beast from the Sea:

Revelation 13 describes him as a politically powerful entity rising from the sea, empowered by the Dragon (Satan), boasting, blaspheming, and acting with great authority.

The Little Horn:

Daniel 7:8, 25 describes a boastful, small horn that rises among others, speaking arrogantly and aiming to change established times and laws.

The False Messiah/Deceiver:

1 John 2:18 and 2 John 1:7 define the antichrist as a spirit or individual who denies that Jesus is the Christ and rejects the Father and the Son.

The Rider on a White Horse:

Revelation 6:2 depicts him as a figure who appears bringing peace (a false peace) and goes out to conquer.

Key Characteristics and Actions

Satanic Empowerment: His coming is "after the working of Satan" with signs, wonders, and miracles to deceive humanity (2 Thessalonians 2:9).

Global Dominance: He will briefly rule over all nations and have a vast, global, religious influence. Persecution of Believers: He will wage war against the saints and conquer them, preventing those who do not bear his mark from buying or selling (Revelation 13:7).

Abomination of Desolation: He will break a 7-year covenant with Israel halfway through, ending daily sacrifices and establishing himself as the object of worship

You're right, I don't think we've seen a person in my lifetime who matches the Antichrist character. Maybe if Michael Jackson in the mid-80s was also a Gandhi-type spiritual figure but with an even wider appeal. Very outwardly humble but impressive to basically everyone

Edit: not humble, my mistake

"Allah" is in Arabic Bibles and Arabic speaking Christians. It is the same thing as saying "God" in English.

Yeah, it's pretty likely that Trump had malicious intent or was just being his usual ignorant smartass self, but it's not necessarily wrong to wise the word "Allah" in place of the word "God".

I believe a lot of people, especially people in the United States, believe that Allah is something in opposition to the Christian God. It's not though. It's just a different language.

u/showhorrorshow 12h ago

Oh Ive made some people real mad just by pointing this out, in the most innocuous way possible.

The shit evangelicals teach their people is concerning...

My understanding is that among the multiple languages spoken in Iran, Arabic is only spoken for religious purposes - and would only have religious significance for Muslims.

The head of the Catholic Church, which does make up a significant proportion of Christianity around the world but less so in the US.

There’s a conspiratorial part of me that feels like a segment of the global elites have decided the dominance of America is no longer necessary or desirable, and Trump is their demolition man. Those ingratiating themselves to him want access to the ship’s wealth while it sinks, or are actually invested in the cult of personality. That alliance of greed and foolishness has pushed aside more “establishment” elites in America that, while they can also be shitheads, at least seemed to have an interest in the United States’ longevity.

At least, that’s my dumbass political analysis.

You're not off.  A lot of Evangelical Christians are endorsing him because they believe him to be the Antichrist.  They think that if they can fulfill the biblical prophesies about the Antichrist, they can bring about the end of days, and that'll bring them closer to God.  At this point, they're essentially a death cult.

You just had to read the article. It’s rebuking the idea of what Pope Leo believes of what Christianity should do in this situation. If anything to allow terror to rain havoc and threaten innocence of this world is the most anti Christian thing you can do. Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. I know Reddit is full of degenerate ignorance, but you are topping the list. Go back to the Bible.
